** Alternatively, as Phil and Lil's parents demonstrate, good parenting between multiple children means '''never''' playing favorites. Good parents treat ''all'' their children (whatever the circumstances) with unconditional love.

* {{Symbolism}}: The opening of the episode shows Phil and Lil's dad carefully measuring each bottle for the twins so they have equal amounts. This is meant to establish that despite what Angelica later tells them, the Devilles don't play favorites and love their twins equally. Later, in Lil's ImagineSpot, she envisions a scenario where they unceremonioualy give her (the "reject") an empty bottle while they give Phil (the "Favorite") a full bottle of milk. This reflects her personal fear that their parents will favor him over her.

The eighteenth episode of the third season of ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}''.
'''In the Dreamtime'''
Chuckie has a hard time distinguishing his dreams from reality.
'''The Unfair Pair'''
Angelica convinces Phil and Lil that every family has a "favorite" child and a "reject" child, leading both to fear that they may be the reject.
!! "In the Dreamtime" provides examples of:
* AllJustADream: Zig-zagged; Chuckie has a bad dream, and then another, and then the rest of the episode plays out as if Chuckie isn't dreaming. At the very end of the episode, the events are all revealed to be a dream of Chas'.
* BullyBulldog: Chuckie comes across a mean bulldog that lives next door and decides to take him on, convinced that he's in a dream and can't get hurt. When Chuckie does get hurt tripping over the dog's bone, he realizes that he's not dreaming after all.
* DreamWithinADream: Chuckie has a dream that takes place in a dream of his, and in the end, it all turns out to be Chas' dream.
* FaceRevealingTurn: Used twice in this epsiode;
** In Chuckie's first dream, when Chuckie asks Tommy why Spike is suddenly talking, Tommy is seen from behind. He turns around to face Chuckie and says, "I'm not Tommy!", revealing him to have a clown-like face.
** At the end of the episode, Chas comes across Stu, who is seen from behind, and turns to face him, saying, "I'm not Stu!", revealing him also to have a clown-like face.
* SuddenlyVoiced: In Chuckie's first dream, Spike speaks with a posh accent and asks the babies if they'd like to have tea with him.
* ThatWasNotADream: Chuckie has several bizarre nightmares, causing him to believe that he's dreaming when he and the other babies are hanging out. It doesn't help that their conversation mirrors the one they had in one of his dreams. He decides to do something that he would normally be too scared to do in real life by going into the yard next door with the AngryGuardDog. It's not until he trips on the dog's bone and hurts himself that he realizes he's not dreaming (his dad told him that dreams can't hurt you), and that he has to get out of the neighbor's yard and fast.

* ADayInTheLimelight: For Phil, Lil, and Angelica.
* BalloonBelly: When Lil believes Phil to be the favorite, she has an imagine spot where Betty and Howard give him an overflowing bottle of milk. When he drinks the milk, the size of his belly increases.
